Valla Kurda Yedirdin Beni

The quartet "Is There Anyone There?" is about an intellectual murdered by the Turkish society, who lustily overcame the ignorance fed by wild appetites. The story of Günay Rodoplu.

The first book of the quartet. "Viva la Muerte!" tells the story of the oppression and pacification of Rodoplu, who had to live like a janitor in the rapidly alienating Turkish society. In the second book, "Nuke Turkey!", we see that ignorance is not specific to our society. He explains that he also had to deal with his own self-conceit, which almost always resulted in violence.

"In this society, being 'knowing' means being exposed to an absolute injustice. Because knowledge creates debt and forces one to 'understand'. The ignorant evokes pity. His destructiveness is forgiven. This is their luxury. However, Aydin was sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime such as informing." Alev Alatli, in his third book, "Valla Kurda Feed Me", poses new questions and problems while drawing the panorama of the Turkish left and the Kurdish issue.

"Poverty , is sharing: Money, food, mind, talent, knowledge, experience, wealth, everything. Poverty is transparency. Poverty is honesty. Poverty means not keeping to yourself, not hoarding. The poor man cannot be a soven, because he shares the fate. Because he knows that the sun hears the laughter flowers and thistles." "Son, was this your loyalty! Well, you fed me to the wolves!"
